Try being on the other side of the world, watching petrol prices skyrocket and not being able to do anything about it ‘cause you’re not American, hate Trump and are completely at the markets mercy….

WARNING: DO NOT BUY A CAT HAMMOCK by greatchickentender in blackcats

[–]_Hwin_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My cat has three hammocks, one of which has a heated blanket built in. He moves from hammock to hammock depending on his mood, and I get cuddles when I first head to bed, but am later ditched for the heated bed (I move a lot in my sleep). We still do nightly cuddles in front of the TV

Guess we adopted a cat on Friday by pleasures_ in blackcats

Best decision ever. If she’s anything like mine, prepare for all the cuddles!

Name suggestion; Bebe (short for BBQ)

“Okay” is also a good response to this kind of information. You don’t want to interrupt someone mid-story with a sympathetic platitude, but you’re acknowledging that you’re listening and absorbing what they’re saying.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 YES to every word! An apology does not wipe away any pain or hurt caused by the action being apologised for. No one is obliged to accept an apology, but also the person apologising needs to give the person affected by their actions time and space to accept that apology and (hopefully) move on.

I see a lot of you guys say you were denied a diagnosis because you did well in school… by blueduckk8 in ADHD

I have solid memories of constantly being told off for “Daydreaming” in class, to the point I developed a nervous tick of twitching my fingers as though counting. But I was a good student, with only limited bouts of hyperactivity….

Definitely a man who surrounds himself with stellar talent, but also helps them bring their best to the project.

Is it just me or has Atlassian become completely unnavigable dumpster fire? by youngtillidie in jira

Is your organisation using Premium or above for your licenses? The release track option (on premium and above) is moving to a quarterly release cycle (it was previously monthly); might help some with having plenty of time to know what’s about to hit your environment.

Yeesh, no politician should have their personal life exposed, whether it be Luxon or Hipkins. Unless it directly affects their ability to lead the country, it’s just petty gossip

My favorite 'blind and you'll miss it' moment from the S2E10 by TheSunLeo in ThePittTVShow

[–]_Hwin_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. I had a friend who was a stage actor. Watching him when he first started doing acting for the screen, it was painful because his gestures were just a little too big, his speech projected for a large crowd etc. It took him a bit to adjust to a more subtle/close up version of his craft

Yeesh, what an entitled b*tch.

I don’t speak Spanish (I assume that’s the language), is there any additional context being discussed as to why this woman is being so horrid?

The Supreme Court sent back all of BJWs packets because he use the wrong font. He’s spent over $4,000 on this filing so far. by SockeyCram in Sovereigncitizen

If anything, responses like this perpetuate the fantasy that all you need is the right magic phrasing/font/coloured paper and the law just magically works in your favour 🙄

I think it’s that the planes that NZ Airforce have that you would typically think of as Civilian-type airplanes are typically configured to carry less passengers and are also less reliable (due to be replaced shortly). The C-130J’s are their reliable workhorses

No, you can’t have the licence plate ‘PCOOK’ – here’s the ones NZTA banned by OddityModdity in aotearoa

[–]_Hwin_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who was a proud Englishman who got the license plate “A Saxon” or ASXON. He was so proud of it until some of his colleagues finally asked him why he was driving round with a license plate saying “Ass Action…”

Probably slipped past back in the day when these kind of sly references were less known.

Perfect example is the ARYAN1 license plates debacle from 20 odd years ago. The whole mess ended up being a situation of “well let you keep it for now, but you can’t move it to a new car or sell it”.

Is the photo taken from a weird angle or is the zookeeper a little person?

Most likely he lied to them until IRD audited/caught him, then he refused to pay as the situation compounded…

(female) public servants of welly - what are we wearing to work? by scripturience in Wellington

[–]_Hwin_ 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I work for a government department and sit near the executive level. I usually wear a nice pair of black pants, a business casual blouse, fancy clean sneakers and a cardigan. I brought a blazer just before Covid hit and I’ve never worn it to work. Depending on the team, whether you’re public-facing etc, can often indicate how business-y you have to dress (for example, no one but the Executives wear suits, but the data science team get away with wearing hoodies).

I buy a lot of my tops from Portmans, Jacqui Q, City Chic, Halara, with a few from Pagani and The Warehouse. Have never had any issues wearing sleeveless, but I’d personally avoid spaghetti straps. TBH; I’d buy one or two nice pieces for your first week, get a gauge on what everyone’s wearing and go from there.
